After kayaking the Green River Narrows with Johnny Calhoun, I headed onto North Mills and decided to ride Trace Ridge. I had wanted to do Big Creek but I wasn't sure about time. Lots of people out today. I saw 3 ladies hiking down Trace Ridge, 3 mountain bikers, and four or five equestrians.


There were a lot of people out in North Mills. I couldn't believe how packed every parking lot was including the Trace Ridge trail head right before the last downhill before the creek crossing.

I couldn't help but stop at Ridge Crest on my home. The weather was perfect and the time was right. Time for another loop. Kitsuma trail was in good shape. I made all the uphill switch backs except the one with the root step up after the tight switch back. I only saw one hiker, otherwise I had the trail all to myself.
